If you want to have very good grid, try infragistics ultragrid or Farpoint winSpread. And for the reporing, you can use ActiveReports, but these are component are not free.
But with a "simple" datagrid object you can get some pretty results.

I think the question you should be asking yourself is "what do I want to do that I can't do with what I'm using now?". There is no point switching to something else just because it's there.

The DataGrid from the FrameWork is a good base, you can nearly do anything you wish with it, with a bit a patience et knowledge. And with it you should not have to worries about version compatibility, what is not so sure about Third-Party controls

For Report engine, here at work, I use ActiveReport 1.1 for .NET, and for knowing both, I suggest you Crystal Report, for is Flexibility
But maybe ActiveReport 2.0 is better, witch I never use.
